I just got this guy from a submission couple of weeks back.

thenavarro · August 25, 2012 12:18PM

Nice Maris! That card is two years older than me, but in much better shape

Dpeck100 · August 25, 2012 12:24PM

Awesome to self sub a card like that!

jgrigali · August 25, 2012 12:36PM

Foo3112 · August 25, 2012 12:39PM

"SHOW and TELL" is a perfect title:

TmbrWolf22 · August 25, 2012 10:03PM

a couple of recent pick-ups

Mdube16 · August 26, 2012 12:19AM

Great grade on the Maris! I Picked up these 3 balls in a trade this week. All MLB authenticated as game used balls. Stiener stickers for the autographs. Neat items.

Jeter GU signed ball June 14 2006. Jeter was 2 for 3 in the game

Arod GU signed ball Aug 14 2005. Arod Home Run in the game

Randy Johnson GU signed ball June 16 2005 inscribed WIN 253. Complete game for Johnson

miconelegacy · August 26, 2012 2:45AM

Picked this beauty up from Nathan, 1980scollector. He gave me a great deal on it too. Very pleased. Go Trout go!!!!!

Edit: just realized that this post is 3,000 for me!!!! Yipppppeeeee!!!!!!!

gameusedhoop · August 26, 2012 3:02AM

Pulled this today from a Target box...

Dpeck100 · August 26, 2012 3:39AM

I have been working to get this card back for four months. I got it in the mail Friday.

This is by far the most rare Ric Flair card raw or graded.

Foo3112 · August 26, 2012 3:49AM

Mark, those will look great with your Bryce and Chipper signed balls.

Nice Trout Mike - I read that he sold you that on his quest to obtain the Mantle. Glad another board member gave you a good deal.

This is by far the most rare Ric Flair card raw or graded.

Whys it so rare? And what happened to your original one? Did you upgrade I assume.

Dpeck100 · August 26, 2012 3:57AM

Mark I really don't know why. In 1986 when these were released the NWA and AWA were really starting to fall behind to the WWF. They were packed inside Carnation Cocoa Mix and came two to a box.

My best guess is that it was a regional issue of some kind as Vince McMahon was really playing hard ball at the time and tried to put them out of business.

In the past few months a few have shown up on EBAY but you can go six months without one even surfacing.

I bought this one raw and submitted it myself in May of 2011. I listed it on EBAY just for the heck of it and sold it for $200 which was a very strong price at the time. I figured I would be able to find another one.

I was wrong. I contacted the guy I sold it to and over the past four months we finally came to an agreement so I could get it back.

There may be others of these surface and perhaps a higher grade but with only two ever graded that tells you all you need to know.

This is the original scan from my Photobucket account.

LMFAO - Please tell me it wasn't to 1980scollector. That man is killing it flipping stuff around chasing that 52 Mantle. Sorry man but that made me crack up when I read it. Too Crazy!

Not new deliveries but a few of my favorite recent purchases:

Love that Jordan 8.5 Rookie. I am a sucker for the MJ rookie card.

gc1213 · August 27, 2012 2:00AM

<< <i>Love that Jordan 8.5 Rookie. I am a sucker for the MJ rookie card. >>

Fleer Jordan Rookie is hands down my favorite card. I wanted a PSA 9 but went for the BGS 8.5 instead. It hangs with most PSA 9's I've seen and I picked up for under VCP low.

This just arrived to join the #57:

Just such a nice well rounded batch. The best in Baseball and Basketballl. Nice stuff!!!!

Foo3112 · August 31, 2012 11:08AM

Just purchased this yesterday

leadoff4 · August 31, 2012 8:25PM

Did you get this at the S. Florida show you attended yesterday? I'm in central Fla. and plan on attending that show soon. Beckett will be on site for one of their upcoming shows.

Foo3112 · August 31, 2012 9:26PM

No, I didn't get anything there yesterday. I just went because my buddy wanted to gab some cards so I went with him. That Maris I just purchased off eBay. And yes, Beckett will be on site next month. Its usually the best show of the year. JSA is there this weekend. Message me if you want to meet up. Always interested in meeting up with other fellow board members just to say hi.

gameusedhoop · September 1, 2012 1:28AM

Got this in mid-week....

MiniDuff · September 1, 2012 3:45AM

The mailman just brought my latest poppage, which I'm still taking from the boxes, but here are a few from one of my favorite sets:

Piggs · September 1, 2012 3:57AM

Nice clean stuff guys. Just got this in the mail today, a $29 BIN. Couldn't resist.

MinorLeaguer · September 1, 2012 6:49AM

Just picked this up. It looks great just a little off t/b. I might cross it to a PSA holder and hope for a 9. Although to me, I think Beckett got it spot on subs and all.

1982 TCMA Mattingly

ldferg · September 1, 2012 11:09AM

I saw this today at a local card show. $725. I did not take the plunge on it, but I did pick up some other wax packs.

ldferg · September 1, 2012 11:13AM

I did pick up these. The 77s are very clean. I may send these to PSA but I'm thinking of ripping some of the others. One of the 75 minis has a slight tear so I'm pretty sure that is going in the rip pile.

Goodsport40 · September 1, 2012 11:13AM

David:

Those look familiar!

Glad you made it and found something good.

Robert

JasonM32 · September 1, 2012 11:20AM

I just got this one in the mail today from Probstein

To go with these two that I also got recently.

Still missing the one with Magic/Bird though.

ldferg · September 1, 2012 11:20AM

I almost took the 80 basketball pack and the remaining 76-77 basketball packs but I stuck with baseball today.

Thanks for the heads up on the show.

JoeBanzai · September 1, 2012 1:57PM

Got this in the mail today. Miracle it was undamaged. sent in a card saver 2 in a small bubble mailer, no cardboard or top loader.

Anyone think it has a shot at a 9?

Joe

ldferg · September 1, 2012 11:00PM

Nice Killebrew. From the scan, the Lower left corner may keep it out of a 9, but I would submit it.

Foo3112 · September 1, 2012 11:06PM

That Killebrew is an 8 with those 2 bottom corners. Still, great card worth sending in.

MinorLeaguer · September 7, 2012 3:06AM

Couldn't wait for the weekend...

About 60 pounds ago for Mike and Dave looks as intimidating in 1977 as he does on his 1982 Topps RC!

1977 Clinton Dodgers Set

digicat · September 7, 2012 3:55AM

I get pretty excited about getting any SF Giants stuff I'm looking for, regardless of value or price.

Here's a few I picked up recently...

Hector Sanchez (his only MLB card) and Eric Surkamp's Gold REF AU...

Jean Machi. A career minor league pitcher got called up last week for the first time. 30 year old rookie. No MLB cards, so I had to hunt down his first minor league card (Muckdogs?).

JoeBanzai · September 7, 2012 5:09AM

Just back from PSA.

YES!

Joe

RynoandBo · September 7, 2012 8:09AM

Foo3112 · September 7, 2012 8:38AM

I REALLY love this card.

RynoandBo · September 7, 2012 8:50AM

Foo,

I was 13 when that card blew up the hobby. I remember looking through a Beckett and the card was listed for big bucks. So, since I knew everything at age 13 and I wanted big bucks, I rode my bike to the local Walgreens and they were selling the complete factory set. I forget how much it cost, but imagine my surprise when I found Billy and all that was on that knob was a little black box. And to quote Ralphie from A Christmas Story when he realized his Little Orphan Annie decoder ring told him to drink more Oval-tine, I said quietly to myself "Son of a Bit**"

Nice card.

Foo3112 · September 7, 2012 10:27AM

The card did blow up but honestly it wasn't more than $6 bucks back in the day. That was still a lot of money to me for a card I remember thinking being a 11 year old kid. The Billy Ripken error FF card still continues to climb in price as time goes on.

I never pulled it out of a pack as a kid but I did later on learn that they were only inserted into the first wax boxes of 1989 Fleer and once they realized the error, they quickly tried to stop production of all FF cards and insert them with various distributions. Ripken has been quoted as saying that he believes Fleer knew exactly what they were doing. I have pulled out 2 of these cards out of 3 boxes and this was one of them that I submitted. The other was more OC and I sold it on eBay for $16 raw.

Can you imagine owning that bat today?! He says he doesn't know what happened to it though I'm sure it would fetch a lot of money being one of the most infamous bats ever in the game.

cwazzy · September 7, 2012 10:36AM

<< <i>The card did blow up but honestly it wasn't more than $6 bucks back in the day. >>

That's not true. It was going for WAY more than that when it was first discovered. We didn't pull ours for a couple of weeks after it was found out and it was selling for more than $50 then.

johnckhall · September 7, 2012 10:37AM

I was in college when that card first came out. I remember vividly one of my buddies in my dorm pulling that card. I think he sold it for about $80 immediately afterward. Now that was a lot of $ to a college kid.

cwazzy · September 7, 2012 10:39AM

I've shown it before and people probably don't want to see it again but here's mine. It's a 1933 Kansas City Blues stock certificate issued to the infamous TJ Pendergast and signed by club secretary Tris Speaker.

Foo3112 · September 7, 2012 10:49AM

Hi Cwazzy,

I just went back and checked some old Becketts. The card was listed at $30 when it came out and this was about Aug of 89. By '90, the card was down to $16 till it eventually dropped down to $6. The card today is listed at $20. A PSA 9 currently sells for about $30. I have no doubt that some were selling for a premium of more than $50 raw back in the day until they probably realized that they weren't as rare as everyone first thought. Still one of my favorites in my collection.
